Marcos Oliveira

Marcos Oliveira is a lecturer in city science and analytics in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Exeter. His research interests lie in complex systems, human dynamics (including human mobility and face-to-face interactions), and self-organizing mechanisms. Oliveira is particularly interested in the use of network science to understand the emergence of social phenomena in cities—such as crime dynamics and social inequality—and to uncover the intricacies that drive the intelligence in swarm intelligence algorithms.
